Abstract

Apparatus for detecting line-over defects at the finish of a glassware container. A bifurcated fiber optic bundle includes sender and receiver fiber branches; one of the branches terminates at a modulated visible red high intensity LED light source, the other at a photosensor. The non-bifurcated, probe end of the fiber optic cable terminates in a rectangular pattern of sending and receiving fibers in a random mix. The probe end of the fiber optic bundle is positioned directly over the container finish and pointed straight down. An intervening lens assembly produces a focused 1:1 image of the rectangular pattern at the bottle finish with the long axis of the rectangle oriented radially across the finish. An electronic assembly modulates the LED, demodulates the photodetector output, and detects sharp reductions in the intensity of light reflected back to the receiver fibers, indicative of line-over defects.

Description

Inspecting glass containers for line-over finish defects
The present invention relates to the detection of connectivity line defect on glassware vessel port end face (Line-over defect), relate in particular to the use of optical device for this purpose.
So-called " through track " defective is a FAQs during glassware is made, and another common name of through track defective is " a shearing lines " and " nit striped ".This defective is a kind of thin groove, and it stretches along the sealing surfaces of glass container mouth end face radially, sees Fig. 1.In whole industry member, think that always detecting this defective is one of worst and the most difficult problem.At various sodas, for example, the capping of container for drink can not seal up these trickle grooves, treats one period, and carbonic acid gas leaks out, and beverage is become run gas.The food jar is the field of another strict demand, if owing to due to this defective, make the sealing variation, food just may be polluted.Baby food industry is concerned about especially whether this through track defective exists.
It is believed that, when loader flows by shear, melt the attitude frit and sheared, remain in the generation that the cold glass of linearity that melts on the attitude frit causes this groove at frit.For example see United States Patent (USP) U.S4,515,002 is described.
In recent years, have ever made many effort and go to develop the equipment that detects glass container through track defective, so that choose bad bottle from production line accurately.But most of such device can pair go out big measured container, and can leak the container that has defective of suitable percentage.Existent method comprises mechanical sensing device, for example at United States Patent (USP) U.S3, and 879,993 and U.S3, those devices disclosed in 395,573.Various optical meanss have also been adopted.A kind of method is to utilize the light of mirror focusing to be mapped to the vessel port end face, wherein, the existence of through track defective will cause that the light of focusing is reflected, and the refraction direction of light is different from the direction of light that does not have defective, can utilize the deflection of the light sensor probes of direct placement to this light direction.For example: see United States Patent (USP) U.S 3,302,787 and U.S 3,107,011.Another kind method is disclosed in United States Patent (USP) U.S 4,606,634, utilizes a kind of diffused light source of plane, produces a kind of image of any through track defective with TV camera.
The third method, the pattern that is among the present invention basically to be adopted makes the light downward direction be mapped to sealing surfaces, surveys the light that is reflected, whether defectiveness exists so that survey.United States Patent (USP) U.S 3,880,750 described systems focus on strong incandescence hot spot and the wheel rim by container, utilize the optical sensor composite set to receive the light of reflection, cooperate electronics to handle to survey departing from of reflected light and normal incident light.The frequency filtering of photodetector signal is removed the light signal of normal incidence, and the flaw indication of each different defect types is provided.Light source and photo-detector composite set become complementary acute angle to place with respect to the plane of sealing surfaces.
Another patent of utilizing the reflected light method is United States Patent (USP) U.S 4,488,648, and it and the present patent application are common the transfers.This patent is selected a kind of DC light source for use, acutangulates placement with respect to sealing surfaces, and photo-detector is placed with acute angle equally, and the through track defective produces a kind of abated effect-promptly a kind of " blackening " of light.This system and U.S discussed above 3,880,750 can not successfully solve by utilizing reflected light to carry out some problem that the through track defects detection is brought.The side wall angle of through track groove is can not indicate fully, the angle of a sidewall can be steep, and another opposing sidewalls can be shallow, being difficult to make reliably the light of reflection to return from these defectives is mapped on the sensor, because these defectives are changing to next container from a container, can not indicate fully.Fig. 2 A, 2B and 2C illustrate the orientation (when the inside of bottle is seen) of three types through track groove.Other problem that adopts this reflected light method to exist is a foul, dust and coarse port surface, they may make light also retroeflection to sensor.
Therefore, basic purpose of the present invention is to provide a kind of optical detection system of more accurate through track defective.Another relevant purpose is to improve the number percent of through track defect detection, and another relevant purpose is to reduce " mistake is surveyed ", for example: since dust, the number percent of foul and the coarse port surface error signal that produces.
In described in the above content and the additional purpose, the present invention adopts a kind of fibre optics scan head, is mapped to glass container mouth end face downwards, and this scanner head comprises a kind of fibre bundle of bifurcated and optics and element electronics of collaborative work.The fibre bundle of bifurcated has transmitter and receiver, and they comprise transmission respectively and receive optical fiber, and linking portion converges two groups of fibers at the end of probe.Such fibre bundle has the light source of the transmitter fiber that is used to throw light at a crotch, at another crotch, there is one to be used to produce the photodetector devices of representative by the light intensity output signal of receiver fiber transmission.Scanner head also comprises a lens combination, is used to transmit the light from the directly downward directive vessel port end face of transmitter that is positioned at probe end, and receives the reflection from container end face simultaneously, and partial reflection is by the receiver fiber capturing of probe end.The configuration with elongated figure is made in the end of probe, utilize lens combination this figure imaging on sealing surfaces, make its length direction of figure just in time radially by the vessel port end face.
According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, make sound end constitute a kind of elongated rectangular configuration, its figure imaging is to vessel port end face face, and its major axis radially strides across sealing surfaces.Best, lens combination make this figure slightly the imaging of out of focus ground on sealing surfaces.Each fiber of the fibre bundle of sound end is mixed into a kind of random fibrous bundle (sending the random fiber figure of fiber and reception fiber) mutually in a kind of favourable mode.
Another aspect of the present invention relates to light source, photo-detector optics system and electronic circuit.Light source is preferably formed with the red light portion of spectrum better by the visible luminescent diode of a kind of high strength (LED).For fear of the interference of surround lighting, can modulate this LED, and the output of photo-detector is carried out demodulation to produce the simulating signal that a kind of representative is detected light intensity.Scanning vessel port end face, while rotary container or scanner head, therefore, system can provide a kind of expression to be detected the waveform that light intensity changes in the whole cycle of scanning around sealing surfaces.
Observe, adopt this detection technique to distinguish the through track crackle and dust, foul, rough spot pattern and the ground unrest that produce quite tangible peak value effectively.The signal that is provided can further be handled, and is used for selecting container.
